  To be the pedantic smart ass that I am, Mussolini in Italy and Franco in Spain weren’t voted in.

  Every fascist regime was established in democratic elections

  Simply not true. Not all fascist regimes came out of elections. Many, many governments arose from coups, usually military.

  You can’t shift a government from Democratic to fascist, if it was never democratic in the first place.
